EyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles

Childrens Toy Shop > Baby > Learning and Education
from: Jakks

May 29, 2008
When I heard that the EyeClops Stealth Googles use real night vision technology, I thought, "I wish they had that when I was a kid!" I envisioned running around in the darkness, playing tag or Capture the Flag, and being able to see exactly where I was going. While this toy does indeed work as advertised, any kid running with it on is likely to get creamed. I see it more as a "spy in the dark" kind of toy.

The scope is a small square on the right eye, and you get a postage stamp view of the world. The detail, within ten to fifteen feet is amazing; any farther than that, and it's difficult to make out what you're seeing. To move through a room, you have to look up and down, back and forth, just to make sure you don't run into ... Read More:

Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby's First Blocks

My son absolutely loves this bucket of blocks. he usually lets me put him down in his play pen as long as i have this to give to him. He plays with it for more than 30 mins. which actually surprises me considering they have very samll attention span. I love that i get stuff done while hes getting some cognitive learning done. Now i'll pay good money for that trade off!

Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper

My son received this toy as a gift and he had a ball playing with it! We even liked the toy and it was a lot of fun to try to catch the balls as they popped out.

However, one day my son's arm got stuck in the toy when he was trying to reach down where the balls get sucked down to and it was stuck all they way up to his elbow. His arm was so wedged into the toy that we could NOT get his little arm out! Finally after trying to pull his arm out my husband ended up breaking the toy to get his arm out. It was really scary because we didn't know what to do when my poor baby was sitting there with this big toy stuck on his arm. We threw the toy away and no matter how fun it was to play, I wouldn't let my children play with this again. ... Read More:

LeapFrog Learn & Groove Musical Table

This is the best toy ever! My daughter has loved it since she was able to pull herself up to standing (around 7 months). She does not ever get tired of playing with it, but always seems so happy when she is playing since there is so much to do. She loves music and dances all the time while playing with this toy. It is also very durable, as she loves to "drum" on it with these wooden sticks that she has, and it's still working great. Ours is actually a hand me down and she is the third baby to play with it obsessively, so you know it lasts!! I also love that it has English and Spanish.

I purchased the unit brand new, installed good quality batteries and installed the software on the computer and updated the software on the unit to newest version. in a clear field with NO METALS, power lines, watches ets. it displayed a magentic error icon as well as an odd lat/log. using another gps i entered the gps cord.from this unit and it shows that my field in maine has been telported to south eastern CHINA!!! I rebooted it many times and same results, new batteries same results. the moon i could see was indicated as not being present.

My daughter received this toy for Christmas when she just over 1yr old and loved chasing it around Christmas morning. She has continued to play with it over the last 2 years and loves it!!! She now likes to put her babies/barbies in it and pretend they are going on a trip. She has thrown it, hit it, stood in it and just about anything a kid can do to abuse a toy and it still looks brand new! Now my 6 month old son giggles his head off when she drives it past him back and forth, he also loves to hold the animals and tries to suck on them. This toy is well worth $30 and even the $40 we paid for it when it first came out! I am willing to bet this toy will be popular in my house for at least the next 3yrs as my son starts to enjoy it more and more! This toy is ... Read More:

LeapFrog Learn & Groove Alphabet Drum

Childrens Toy Shop > Baby > Learning and Education
from: LeapFrog

June 12, 2006
this toy was good for my daughter when she was a baby and just beginning to walk and talk, but now she's bored of it. It was good for very basic play but as soon as she was ready for more advanced play (probably 1 year old) she became bored with it.

Just a personal peeve also, it constantly repeats the invitations to play, so prepared to have those drilled into your brain every time it's used.

EyeClops Bionic Eye Multizoom, Green

from: Jakks


My 6 yr old son got this as a gift, and although I was skeptical at first, I have now eaten my words. It is a breeze to set up, and once you do, the view is great! My son looked at the carpet, and it was really clear and looked like a microscope. We also looked at his hair, my husbands hands, paper, chicken etc. We went crazy!

Anyone that even slightly enjoys science will love this toy.

The good..
once you get a resolution focused you can see light objects fairly well.

The bad...
Lighting is very poor. the very small leds make any darker material impossible to see.
Very hard to focus, need to turn the entire front of the housing, can't do it "on the fly"
Changing magnification requires refocusing.

most kids will need assistance using this.

NEEDS BETTER LIGHTING, you also can not increase lighting with a flash light or anything, so it's light material or nothing
